710/WHB Kansas City - Imaging and Air Check (late '60s)

A variety of different promos and imaging elements from legendary AM top 40 station WHB (710) in Kansas City, MO. These are actual promos lifted from the master reels that belonged to WHB program director Richard Ward Fatherley, who worked at the station in 1967-'69. Also included is a short air check snippet of Richard Ward Fatherley when he was doing the morning show in 1969.

Richard Ward Fatherley helped me get started in Radio in the Kansas City market. He was very kind and encouraging. Rest In Peace my dear friend....

I knew Dick Fatherly - great guy. His wife worked with me at KCNW-AM for a couple of years. Man, what a voice Fatherly had! I listened quite a bit to WHB while growing up after it had already switched to Oldies (50s & 60s) - but these were a bit before my time. Really cool to hear the style they used then. SO different than what you'd hear even on an Oldies station today.

I was on WHB around the mid sixties. I read something I had written to my Mother for Mother’s Day. I would love to hear it.

[@CrocodileTooth]

The only station I listened to from 1959-1974.

Miss Richard. Such a class act.

Richard Ward fatherly was so good, I heard him at KXOK and I also heard him late at night when he transitioned over to WHB way back in the late 60s.

I heard WDAF AM preview the Beatles White Album with Dan Henry (I think) in 1968. Pulled over into Seeburg Muffler shop at corner of Armour and North Oak. He panned most of it.

[@geekkc3249]

WDAF??? They were almost all middle of the road type music, top40?? Maybe KY102, but they weren't around until late on..

[@dallasheltzell]

@@geekkc3249 I loved WHB and WDAF as well. When I did a college radio show, I shamelessly copied a shtick WDAF morning DJ Mark Foster did. As his show ended each morning, he'd post into a song by saying, "This is the Mark of Foster, and I leave you with THIS thought ... " and he wouldn't say anything else. ;-)

[@geekkc3249]

@@dallasheltzell oh yes, I still remember Mark Foster and Dan Henry to this day!

I think those were PAMS Jingles WHB (now KCMO) A-M 710 from the late 1960s.

[@dallasheltzell]

Does anyone have a copy of WHB's main news sounder from the '60s? It was a brassy, dramatic 9-note version of the old lounge song, "What's New."
